SECOND-HAND
TEXTBOOKS
From textbooks, if
they'are second-hand ^
one can always find a-
iiiusement. In addition
to looking at the pic
tures, there are cer
tain pencil marks that
prove to be very in
teresting* As you turn
the pages on some class
when you should be
paying attention, you
find marks with "John
loves Mary” or other
names written in dif
ferent corners. Pic
tures of teachers, p2!*o-
fessors, and students
are very plentiful . A
book that a girl had
the year before may
contain a lost love
letter or a note from
some boy in the United
States service. That
there are mustaches,
cigarettes, and pipes
drav/n on or in the
mouths of all the peo
ple show that the per
son admires the "manly
man". Horace Lleacomes
Par.e 6
A Good Play is More Enjoyable
Than A Motion Picture
Class Therue
In everything people
prefer reality to imi
tations or make-be
lieve, In plays liv
ing ncople speak,v/alk,
and gesture; v/hile in
movies, even though
they do the same, the
actors seem to be far
away from the audience
as if they were in a-
nother world. In the
theater there is the
cr.clting moment when
house lights fade out
and the curtain rises
upon a colorful sot.
Some moving picture
theaters have tried to
capture this feeling
by using music and
drawing open a curtain
at the beginning of
the picture, but the
feeling of excitement
and expectancy from
the audicnce is still
lacking. The kinds of
plays vary far more
than motion pictures.
One knov/s exactly what
to expect each time he
goes to the movies;
this is not true in
plays. In the theater
the audience somehow
knov;s that each time
the actors come on the
stage they are putting
their soul into the
lines and are really
thinking of the people
v/ho watch them. The
stage acbor plays to
the visible audience
and is inspired by
their reaction.The mo
tion pictures camera
can give no such in
spiration. For this
reason the motion pic
ture v;ill never re
place the real stage
play. For entertain
ment, good drama, or
inspiring thoughts ,
plays usually measure
up* Pictures sometimes
do not. After seeing
one good play fev/ peo
ple are completely sa
tisfied v/ith motion
pictures.
